@ohsnapimginger @MCHD_TX Thanks, Kevin, for a fantastic discussion!!

[Kevin Mercer, PharmD, MPH @ohsnapimginger]

Really enjoyed this conversation with @cpatrick_89 and the @MCHD_TX team!

We talked through medication safety, prehospital challenges, and where an #EMPharmD can support #EMS workflows.

Excited this turned into a 2-part series. Appreciate the opportunity to be part of it!

Transcutaneous pacing (TCP) is used to treat unstable bradycardia. In this multi-center study of TCP performed by paramedics, only 9.7% had sustained electrical capture, suggesting the procedure is frequently performed ineffectively.

Delays to chest compressions and defibrillation are common following prehospital rearrest. Among pts. with a rearrest rhythm of VF, the median delay from the first second of VF on ECG to defib. was 67s (IQR 29, 245), and 3 (20%) were not defibrillated.

It’s all hands on deck as recovery efforts continue in counties in the Texas Hill Country. MCHD #EMS has crews stationed on direction of the Texas Emergency Medical Task Force…

Another great paper from the ESO team investigating outcomes following different initial dosing strategies of adenosine (6 vs. 12 mg) for PSVT in the prehospital setting.
